RITES OF PASSAGE

Passage Rituals recognize and celebrate the various transitions, and ages/stages of our lives. Rites of Passages have been rooted in pre-industrial traditions and cultures from around the world. In todays modern, go-go lifestyle, something is lost when we do not move through these life transitions in a held and supported way. Living Earth seeks to bridge the void of these rituals in our modern day lives and bring them back to our people. Click here to see our 2019 rites of passage programs.
